It is about time, too, we think.

Time for music therapy to have a larger voice, a broader voice.And this blog and radio show will be the conduit for that voice.

I'd like to thank Blog Talk Radio for their hosting of the radio show. What an incredible resource!

I found out about Blog Talk Radio through FlyLady.net. I can't say enough about how helpful FlyLady has been to me with all of the things I have on my plate.

About Kevin

Kevin is my support, friend, assistant producer and all around good guy. He writes the music for the radio show and has helped with a lot of the basic format issues related to the show and blog. While I probably could do all this without him, he frees me up to do a better job on content, which I'm sure you'll appreciate and I sure do.

Kevin's blog is Implausible Dreams, and it contains information about the Dallas Stars, FC Dallas and MLS, and motorcycling. I'd love it if you would check it out.
